Very interesting that Texas Homeland Security chief David Dewhurst says he looked at the ad twice before it somehow got printed with the SS officer whose name tag had a German flag on it.

Bush Administration's Homeland Security Freudian Slip

Sometimes the truth has a way of coming out in the most embarrassing and unexpected ways.
If the President's newly created Office of Homeland Security sounds to you a bit reminiscent of propaganda from Nazi Germany, you're not alone in that suspicion.
According to the Washington Times (one of President Bush's strongest defenders among U.S. newspapers-see below), Texas Homeland Security chief David Dewhurst claims it was an error when an ad he commissioned in support of the Office of Homeland Security featured a Luftwaffe officer.
Was this a bizarre mistake, a Freudian slip or a rare moment of candor from the Bush administration? Considering that Bush's grandfathers made their fortune on Wall Street managing banks and shipping companies the U.S. government seized in 1942 as fronts for the Nazis, it may have been all three.
Former President Bush had his own embarrassing moments involving Nazis, including one that almost lost him the Presidency when a number of former SS officers were found to be high-ranking operatives in his Presidential campaign. Nor has GW been free of Nazi taint.
The right-wing think tank he claims is second only to the bible in its influence on his ideas, the Manhattan Institute, has numerous links to eugenics, Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. Its founder, former CIA chief William Casey, helped bring thousands of former SS officers to the U.S. following WWII.

Political ad is uniformly embarrassing
By Hugh Aynesworth
DALLAS — Texas homeland security chief David Dewhurst wanted Texans to feel confident in these trying times and — as a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor — wanted Texans to know he was taking his new anti-terrorism job seriously.
So he purchased a full-color, four-page advertisement in Texas Monthly magazine a few days ago.
The ad layout has received far more comment than any similar effort in recent history — but perhaps for all the wrong reasons.
In the ad, a military officer is depicted standing in front of an unfurled American flag, with the caption, "As chairman of the Governor's Task Force on Homeland Security, David Dewhurst encourages you to support President Bush and the brave men and woman of our Armed Forces as they fight to eliminate terrorism and work to restore confidence in our economy."
Within hours of the magazine's hitting the streets last week, the Dewhurst campaign became inundated with calls — some angry, some joking — informing the state land commissioner that the officer in the photograph was not an American general, but was clearly a German Luftwaffe officer — complete with military decorations, insignias and a name tag bearing the German flag.
Early in the week, a stunned Mr. Dewhurst, 56, conceded he had examined the ad "a couple times" before OK'ing it but later he and his staff placed blame on the advertising agency that prepared the ad.
"When I had asked for a picture of an American soldier against the flag," he said Friday, "our graphics consultant made a mistake. The ad agency and the graphics consultant won't be doing further work for us."
Predictably, Democrats jumped all over the situation — not only making fun of the faux pas, but complaining that Mr. Dewhurst was using his new assignment as home security head for political advantage.
"The ink wasn't dry yet on the appointment when he was sending out political brochure copy to the print shop," said Kelly Fero, who is directing a coordinated state Democratic campaign.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry named Mr. Dewhurst to coordinate the state's anti-terrorism efforts earlier this month.
"It's pretty scary that the man Rick Perry has put in charge of homeland security doesn't know the difference between an Air Force uniform and a German uniform," snapped Democrat state Chairwoman Molly Beth Malcolm at an Austin party meeting Saturday.
Friday, with strong backing from Mr. Perry, Mr. Dewhurst defended his political ad — saying maybe he should not have stressed his new role, but solidly standing behind his expressed sentiments of supporting the president and the armed forces.
"If I had it do to over again," said the former Houston businessman and one-time Air Force officer and CIA agent, "I would have said the same words. I might not have said 'as chairman of the Governor's Task Force on Homeland Security.'"
Mr. Dewhurst said that at political gatherings people asked him about security issues and that he intended to continue to mention his state task force assignment. "Not in a way that politicizes what I'm doing for the state," he added. "I make a point of saying: 'All right, we've stopped talking about politics. We're going to talk about a state issue, and let me tell you what my thoughts are.'
"I didn't find anything out of the ordinary about saying 'Here's what I'm doing; here's what makes me qualified to lead you,'" said Mr. Dewhurst.

PRESCOTT BUSH PAVED MODERATE PATH FOR SON AND GRANDSON; WOUNDED BY FRIEND'S BETRAYAL, HE PUT HIGH PRICE ON LOYALTY
By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff
AN AMERICAN DYNASTY
Prescott Bush was surely aghast at a sensational article the New York Herald Tribune splashed on its front page in July 1942. "Hitler's Angel Has 3 Million in US Bank," read the headline above a story reporting that Adolf Hitler's financier had stowed the fortune in Union Banking Corp., possibly to be held for "Nazi bigwigs." Bush knew all about the New York bank: He was one of its seven directors. If the Nazi tie became known, it would be a potential "embarrassment," Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman worried, explaining to government regulators that their position was merely an unpaid courtesy for a client. The situation grew more serious when the government seized Union's assets under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the sort of action that could have ruined Bush's political dreams."
"The Bush family fortune came from the Third Reich." -John Loftus, former US Justice Dept. Nazi War Crimes investigator and President of the Florida Holocaust Museum quoted in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune 11/11/2000 http://www.newscoast.com/headlinesstory2.cfm?ID=35115
4/14/1990 New York Times quotes President George Bush as stating, "Lets forgive the Nazi war criminals."

: Trading With The Enemy
: http://www.teknet.net.au/~eye/arms_industry_world_war_2.htm
: Trade between US corporations and the Nazi regime during World
: War 2
: They say that winners write the history books.
: New information on the business activities of certain banks
: and multinational companies during World War II makes one
: wonder who was fighting whom - and why?
: Studying government documents obtained through the FOIA,
: Charles Higham entered a most alarming world. He discovered
: to his utter dismay and growing contempt the secret
: negotiations, trades, sales, and financial dealings that
: had gone on before, during and after the war between
: corporate leaders of the United States and the firms of
: Nazi Germany.
: His book, "Trading With The Enemy", is filled with
: stories of secret trading and funding for anti-war
: sentiment, among other traitorous activities. In his
: preface, the author asks some extremely poignant questions
: which we should be asking ourselves in relation to the
: US-Soviet Union connection.
: What would have happened if millions of American and British
: people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas
: stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New
: Jersey managers shipped the enemy's fuel through neutral
: Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel?
: Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in
: Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbour was doing millions
: of dollars worth of business with the enemy with the full
: knowledge of the head office in Manhattan? Or that Ford
: trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in
: France? Or that Col. Sosthenes Behn, the head of the
: international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew
: from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help
: improve Hitler's communications Systems and the robot bombs
: that devastated London? Or that ITT built the Focke-Wulfs
: that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that
: crucial ball-bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated
: customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice
: chairman of the US War Production Board, in partnership
: with (high Nazi official) Goering's cousin in Philadelphia
: when American forces were desperately short of them? Or
: that such arrangements were known about in Washington and
: either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?
: Some of it was `business as usual' and some transactions'
: purposes were traitorous, i.e., favouring Hitler and
: Nazism. An organisation that combined these motives was the
: BIS (Bank for International Settlements, created in 1930 of
: the world's central banks and inspired by Hjalmar Schacht,
: Nazi Minister of Economics who had powerful Wall Street
: connections.
: BIS was created to retain channels of communication and
: collusion between the world's financial leaders during
: international conflicts. Its ostensible purpose was to
: provide the Allies with reparations to be paid by Germany
: for World War 1. However, it soon became an instrument to
: funnel money from America and Britain to Hitler's war
: machine. In May of 1944 during BIS's annual meeting, while
: young Americans were dying on the Italian beach-heads, the
: financial fraternity was deciding what to do with the $378
: million in gold that the Nazi government had looted from
: the national banks of Austria, Holland, and Belgium.
: Some other examples of traitorous activity: 1) While General
: Motors (GM) was equipping the USAF in 1943, the German GM
: group was developing and assembling motors for the
: Messerschmidt 262, the first jet fighter in the world (GM
: went unpunished after the war; in fact, they were awarded a
: $33 million tax exemption on profits for its destroyed
: factories in Germany and Austria by the US government).
: 2) SKF (Swedish Enskilda Bank) was the colossal ball-bearings
: trust. Goering's cousin, Hugo von Rosen, and William Batt,
: Vice Chairman of the War Production Board, were directors
: of SKF in America throughout the war. Ball-bearings were
: essential -- tanks, trucks, planes, armored cars, U-boats,
: railroads, ITT's communication devices, guns, and
: bombsights would have been powerless without them.
: Therefore, ball-bearings were among the most powerful
: weapons of "the fraternity"`s (the name Higham
: continually uses to refer to the men who were overseeing
: the game of banking on war) sophisticated form of wartime
: neutrality. SKF not only controlled ball-bearings but,
: since its inception in 1907, it controlled iron ore mines,
: steel and blast furnaces, foundries, factories and plants
: in US, Germany, France, and Britain. The largest share of
: its production was allocated to Germany: 60 per cent.
: The all-important Curtiss-Wright Aviation Corporation was
: unable for 15 months after Pearl Harbour to secure
: sufficient ball-bearings from SKF, and came close to
: closing down. Worn ball-bearings caused crashes that cost
: American lives. Large numbers of planes were grounded
: because of the lag in supply. Batt would do nothing; the
: inventories at the plant in Philadelphia were doctored to
: appear that only a few million bearings were ground out,
: when in fact much more had been produced. And sometimes
: Goering's cousin, von Rosen, would manufacture incomplete
: bearings for Americans that were useless. Investigations
: were being implemented, accountancy files and
: correspondence were burned, Watergates upon Watergates
: trying to ascertain who were the traitors in the War
: Production Board. In the end, Batt and von Rosen went
: without punishment. The secret promises with other members
: of the fraternity were kept. The SKF plants in Sweden and
: Germany would not be broken down or removed.
